THE COMING MEDICAL
CONFERENCE.
The other day when speaking to a friend, chance mention was made of the coming Medical Conference, and my friend immediately asked whether I knew' what took place at such conferences and what purposes they servel. At the moment I simply replied to his question and thought no more of it, but it after warda occurred to me that here was a subject which might prove of general interest to the man in the street, especi- ally as it deals with so important a topic as the health and well-being of the human race it, general.

It is undoubtedly this coming together of various medical practi- tioners and the exchanging of their differ- ent experiences that makes such confer- ences so valuable. Furthermore, in medi

These business firus usually pay a small fee for the use of a stall during the con- ference and the money alituined in this manner is used to assist in providing the visitors with accommodation, etc. Thus anybody attending one of these conter Chees has usually only to find his travel- ling expenses and a more or less nominal subscription to the general funds, the doctors resident in the district that the meeting is held in paying the rest of the
expenses.
Nowadays it is usual for the civic authorities of the towu or district in which the conference is being held to take part in the welcoming and enter- taining of the visitors, and in return it is usual for the medical association to arrange for several lectures upon public health and similar topies to take place, which are open to the general public and are intended for their information and instruction.
